nerdified

31 March 2005

in my bid to save money (because after 1 year of army i've succeeded in saving all of $200 [including cny04 AND 05!]), i've resigned to not going out AT ALL. past recap of the week:

sun - ok fine went dota-ing with yg. but i left slightly early
mon - SAW live range
tues - stoned in camp while everyone booked out. watching pirates of caribbean though (KEIRRA KNIGHTLEY!!!!!111)
wed - went to collect my trackir then a bus home

so to justify (synonymous with 'while the time away') rotting at home while keeping what scraps of money i still have safe in the bank, i've turned to the virtual sport of computer games. more specifically, the flight simulators il-2 sturmovik and lock-on, modelled after world war 2 and gulfwar era planes respectively. i straight out refuse to play mindless retarded games (aka counter strike); army has already degreaded much of my intellectual capacity.

the ironic part is that the past few months i've spent quite a ton in computer equipment (repeat after me: nerdified).



the first one is this really cool nifty device which tracks your head movements. it was featured in the straits times on tuesday as a tool for paraplegics. basically what it does is control the mouse by an infrared sensor tracing your head movement. so now i look left and the screen looks left too, look up down everywhere and so does it in game. takes a real long time to figure out (maybe it's just me) but when it finally works it's a unique experience (i mean, in a computer game!?). to the right is the saitek evo joystick which is obviously for flying the aeroplanes because pressing arrows on a keyboard just makes you crash and crash and crash and crash.

gee you can say 'nerdified' again
